Commission appoints four members to new Capital Improvements Advisory Committee

Mercedes City Commission · August 4, 2026

Summary

The commission approved appointments of four applicants to the new Capital Improvements Advisory Committee, noting the committee must include at least three members with real estate or contractor backgrounds and may include ETJ residents for impact-fee projects.

Commissioners considered Item 8a, appointing members to a Capital Improvements Advisory Committee that will provide guidance on projects funded by impact fees. A motion to approve the four applicants on the packet was moved and seconded after staff explained committee composition requirements.

City staff noted the rules require at least three members to have backgrounds in real estate or contracting; two members may be from the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) so impact fees can be applied to ETJ projects. Commissioners voted in favor of appointing the four applicants and discussed adding a fifth applicant from recent submissions at a later date.
